Ever since it was announced that we would be getting a brand new streaming service,
Disney+, Disney has been announcing all of its new Marvel offerings, from Falcon and
the Winter Soldier, to WandaVision, to Loki, there are so many shows to be excited for.
However, I want to talk about the heroes that deserve their own show, the heroes that perhaps
don’t get the recognition they deserve, or have even be brushed under the rug.
So today on Top 10 Beyond The Screen, I’m going to be counting down our list of the
Top 10 Marvel Superheroes Who Need Their Own Show On Disney+.
Before we begin, be sure to stick around until the end of the video where I’ll be responding
to some of your comments.
Let's jump in.
10 Nebula and Gamora Now, one of the biggest rumours floating around
the internet, is that of a Nebula and Gamora solo series for Disney +, and according to
some sources, it may already be in development, but again, this is unconfirmed.
The pair were first introduced into the MCU in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which
established their antagonistic relationship -- though they do both love each other now.
As we know, the Loki series is set to be a prequel, focusing on a younger version of
the character.
We wouldn’t be surprised if this is the direction they decided to take Nebula and
Gamora, exploring their lives before they defected from their father, as well as their
complicated rivalry in its early days.
9 Lady Sif I’m specifically talking the MCU version
of Lady Sif here, played by Jaimie Alexander.
Lady Sif is an Asgardian warrior and a good friend of Thor and the Warriors Three.
In 2018, she was among the many who died when Thanos snapped his horrible fingers, but she
was resurrected by Hulk and the other Avengers in 2023, God bless.
Her powers include: Superhuman Strength, Superhuman Durability, Superhuman Speed, SUperhuman Agility,
Superhuman Stamina, Regenerative Healing Factor, and Longevity.
Yeah, she’s an absolute badass.
Now, there has been a ton of speculation about this Asgardian Warrior getting her own Disney
Plus series, along with Thor’s other co-stars from the MCU.
8 Daredevil Netflix broke the hearts of comic fans when
they pulled the plug on all of its Marvel superhero shows, including: Daredevil, Jessica
Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist.
Now, this news broke last December that due to contractual reasons Disney would not be
able to revive these shows until two years after their cancellation.
I can wait two years.
And now, thanks to Disney Plus, these shows will have a brand new home.
But, like I said, it won’t be for another two years, maybe even longer, considering
all the legal issues.
Which means, Disney will be putting all of their confirmed shows first, worse still,
there’s a chance these heroes won’t even be revived at all.
However, I don’t believe that for a second, especially considering their success on Netflix.
7 Rocket Raccoon and Groot Rocket Raccoon and Groot may just be the greatest
pairing in the entire MCU.
Now, we know James Gunn is back on for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, however, that is not
enough for me or most fans.
There have been a fresh set of rumours that indicate a potential series for Disney Plus,
starring Bradley Cooper and of course Vin Diesel as their respective characters.
Now, timeline wise it could literally take place whenever, considering the pair have
been partners even prior to the events of 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
I’m praying for a prequel series to Guardians, with Rocket and Groot, up to no good together,
ravaging the galaxy.
How fun would that be?
6 Nick Fury Once constant that we can always rely on in
the MCU is Nick Fury, played by Samuel L Jackson, with the actor more recently appearing in
Captain Marvel, and Spider-Man: Far From Home.
With the actor a full-time character in the MCU, he might be headed for his own Disney
Plus series.
And by might, I mean he should be heading for his own Disney Plus series.
If you saw Captain Marvel, you will know that the technology to de-age actors works, it’s
actually quite terrifying.
So, there is no telling what Marvel could do with Nick Fury.
Now, there are of course rumours circulating around the internet already about a Fury solo
series, however, nothing has been confirmed.
Nick Fury has been a fan favorite since his introduction in Iron Man, and given his prolonged
absence in the MCU between Avengers Age of Ultron in 2015, and Captain Marvel in 2019,
the door is open for a series that could perhaps fill in all the gaps.
5 X-23 Now, I’m not talking the comic character
here, I’m specifically talking X-23, aka Laura, from the 2017 movie Logan.
Now, for those of you who didn’t see Logan, Laura is a mutant, artificially created by
Alkali-Transigen to use as a solderie.
However, she is the biological daughter of Wolverine, with similar powers, including
regeneration and adamantium claws.
What makes X-23 interesting is that she has no knowledge of the outside world or how it
works, all she knows is that she has to stay alive.
Her powers include: Regenerative Healing Factor, Retractable Claws, Enhanced Strength, Enhanced
Agility, and Enhanced Durability.
Making her one hell of a strong child.
It would make for an incredible series to follow X-23’s life after the passing of
Logan, and what actually took place when her and her fellow X-23’s crossed the border
into Canada.
4 Silver Surfer Now, I’m choosing to forget the time Silver
Surfer appeared in the wreck that was Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, because hard
for non-comic lovers to believe, the Silver Surfer is actually an amazing character, and
discovered more than that trainwreck.
The Surfer first appeared all the way back in The Fantastic Four #48 in 1966, the first
of a three-issue arc that fans call “The Galactus Trilogy”.
At the beginning of his creation, Silver Surfer worked for Galactus, a cosmic entity who consumed
planets to sustain his life force.
For a time, The Surfer is his herald, seeking out planets for Galactus to consume, however,
in time he eventually heads to earth, where he meets the Fantastic Four, and is in turn
touched by their nobility.
Now, many are expecting the Surfer to be revamped in one of the Avengers films, Fantastic Four,
or even Guardians of the Galaxy, but I’m not holding my breath.
Instead, it would make far more sense for the character to have his own stand-alone
series, which could be a way for him to be introduced into the MCU as the powerful and
beloved character that he is.
3 Spider-Woman Now, this is one of the rare numbers on our
list who has actually never made an appearance in the MCU or any kind of marvel show.
You may be thinking she is a new character, but no, Spider-Woman is actually a creation
of the 1970’s, and starred in her very own animated cartoon.
Although a lot of people have donned the title, Spider-Woman, the version we’re talking
about is Jessica Drew.
Now, Drew’s first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #32 in February 1977, with 50 issues of an
ongoing series titled Spider-Woman.
However, at its conclusion, she was killed, and though later returned, she fell into disuse,
supplanted by other characters using the name Spider-Woman.
Jessica Drew deserves more, also, we deserve a Spider-Woman, considering how many Spider-Man
films we’ve had.
We deserve at least one, come on.
Anyway, A disney plus series would be the perfect place for Jessica Drew to show what
she’s capable of, and for Marvel to redeem themselves for brushing her under the rug.
2 Valkyrie Arguably one of the highlights of the 2017
MCU movie Thor:Ragnarok was Valkyrie, played by Tessa Thompson.
Now, as we know, following Endgame, Valkyrie is now the new leader of the Asgardians, with
the title being presented to her by Thor himself -- putting Valkyrie in an incredibly powerful
position.
A powerful position that could be displayed in an equally as powerful series.
The character herself resembles a female Indiana Jones, now imagine this hero centre stage,
and embarking on some wild adventures across the galaxy.
I mean in the 2010 comics, she becomes a founding member of the Secret Avengers, and co-leader
of the Fearless Defenders with Misty Knight.
There are literally so many directions you could take her series in if it were to happen.
All I’m saying is, Tessa Thompson or bust.
Thankfully, Tessa will be returning for Thor: Love and Thunder in 2021.
1 Black Widow Now, Black Widow has been confirmed to have
a feature film that is set to be released in May 2020, and stars ScarJo, Rachel Weisz,
Ray Winstone, and a big maybe, Robert Downey Jr.
However, despite that, comic fans, and MCU fans, are desperate for Natasha Romanoff to
get her own Disney+ series along with her other buddies.
Black Widow is a super spy, and to condense all of her action packed missions into one
movie is criminal, in my opinion anyway.
But honestly, I’ll take what I can get.
With the 2020 movie, we are confined to the period between Civil War and Infinity War,
however, if Marvel decided to opt for a series, it would give the writers more freedom to
explore some of Natasha’s greatest moments from the comics, and not just the MCU.
They could even dabble in the Heroic Age storyline which includes our previous number, centering
on Natasha being recruited by Steve Rogers into a new black-ops wing of the Avengers,
dubbed, of course, the Secret Avengers.
Black Widow travels to Dubai with her new teammate, Valkyrie, where the pair get up
to no good, of course.
I mean, come on, a Black Widow series is what we all need, and I will fight for it until
the end of time, ok bye.
Well, there we have it!

David’s World said “Lucy I swear when you’re 60, you will still have that baby
face look.
Keep drinking out of the youth fountain.”

That’s dream.

Great vid, and Lucy you’re a fabulous Queen.”
